MIG6 loss confers resistance to ALK/ROS1 inhibitors in NSCLC through EGFR activation by low-dose EGF.

ABSTRACT: Although tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy shows marked clinical efficacy in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) and ROS proto-oncogene 1-positive (ROS1+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), most of these patients eventually relapse with acquired resistance. Therefore, genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screening was performed using an ALK+ NSCLC cell line established from pleural effusion without ALK-TKI treatment. After 9 days of ALK-TKI therapy, sequencing analysis was performed, which identified several tumor suppressor genes, such as NF2 or MED12, and multiple candidate genes. Among them, this study focused on ERRFI1, which is known as MIG6 and negatively regulates EGFR signaling. Interestingly, MIG6 loss induced resistance to ALK-TKIs by treatment with quite
